Her fingers paint the world around her
more vividly than any artist.
The knife is sharp, darling,
but she hugs the blade with her fingers,
stumbling, giggling, drawing on the walls,
leaving a bit of herself everywhere.

My name is Travis. I am a senior at Keystone School. I love writing both poems and full length novels, but I also love engineering and acting.
